What you need to hire a mini bus from us

When you hire a vehicle from Bishop Auckland Car and Van Hire, you will be asked for evidence of what vehicles you can drive or confirmation of any penalty points.

You can request a unique code from www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk which allows you to share your driving licence details or you can download a summary of your driving licence record. You will also be required to bring your Photo Driving License and your National Insurance Number when you hire your vehicle.

The code lasts for up to 21 days and will enable us to make any necessary checks.Please do not generate the code more than 21 days in advance of your vehicle hire.

If you cannot generate a code online then you can call 0300 083 0013 and the DVLA will provide you with a code. Alternatively, you can call DVLA on 0300 790 6801 and leave permission for your driving record to be checked verbally by Bishop Auckland Car and Van Hire.
